Thats what you get for £38 million and £220K+ per week.. If you take into consideration that he's was only £3 million more than Andy Carroll then he's definately worth it. I'm sure DDG will come good eventually, I just hope he doesn't cost us too dearly whilst we wait!

Yeah I'm confident Man Utd will win the title this year but Man City will definately be a threat.
How Chelsea do will depend a lot on how their new manager settles in.
Arsenal and Liverpool will be quite a way off in my opinion and will battle it out for 4th position. I agree with your analysis my friend What team do you support mate?

Good start to the season for you though it doesn't look like the £35 million from the sale of Carroll is going to be spent!

British Soccer Team? What's That say Scots, Welsh, Irish By JERÉ LONGMAN and SARAH LYALL LONDON — The plan seems eminently reasonable: field a soccer team to represent Britain at next year’s Olympics, which after all are being held here, the home of the modern game. But there are several problems. For one thing, there is no such thing as a British soccer team. Instead, in a country where devotion to sports is fueled by ferocious regional and political rivalries, there are instead individual teams representing Britain’s fractious, proud and fiercely competitive constituent nations — namely England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Nor are the hypersensitive soccer federations in the non-English nations exactly clamoring to have their players compete side by side with players from their bitter rival, England. Although they have promised not to stop their players from participating, they have refused to officially sanction the idea of a national team and are actively discouraging anyone from joining it. So angry were the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish at the British Olympic Association’s proud announcement in June that it had reached an “historic agreement” to field men’s and women’s soccer teams in 2012 — Team GB, each will be called — that they responded with a proud announcement of their own. The associations “reiterate our collective opposition to Team GB participation at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, contrary to the media release issued by the British Olympic Association,” their statement said. The issue is simple, as Stewart Regan, chief executive of the Scottish soccer federation, explained at the time. “We need to protect our identity, and we have no interest in taking part,” he said. Still, the Football Association, as England’s soccer federation is known, plans to go ahead and organize Team GB anyway, knowing that the only way to satisfy its non-English counterparts would be to choose no one from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland....
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
